Re: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/822640

The chosen solution does not work. The setting "browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete" doesn't exist, and adding it and setting it to false doesn't change the browser's behaviour.

Hi, for the long time when I have opened an PDF with external application, it was downloaded into system %TEMP%, then deleted after ext. app was closed. Very fine and expected.

Since ca. few weeks such PDFs are now downloaded to Desktop - and not removed afterwards! It's quite annoying to clear them again and again. I've checked, my %TEMP% and %TMP% are set correctly and writeable.

Adding bookmarks using a mouse

My dad is almost 89 years old. He is NOT TECH SAVVY. I have him using a trackball mouse. His hands are HUGE and his fingers are numb.

Somehow, he is inadvertently adding bookmarks to the bookmark bar. I do not know how he is doing this but he'll call and ask me to "put Gmail back on the bar". When I go over, there are a gazillion new bookmarks which pushes his Gmail bookmark beyond the >> spot. I have to delete these umpteen extra bookmarks so that the Gmail bookmark is visible again. Yesterday, I decided to move Gmail to the far left, hoping these accidental bookmarks he creates won't push it off the bar. The bookmarks he "creates" are specific gmail conversations, or facebook pages, or Publisher's Clearing House pages (he LOVES PCH games and plays them constantly).

HOW IS HE DOING THIS? He doesn't know enough to click the star button. He doesn't know about using the Ctrl and D keys to create a new bookmark. It's driving me BATTY. I'm sure he's somehow doing this using his mouse (clicking both right/left simultaneously but not aware of doing so).

Thanks in advance for helping a daughter keep her sanity ...

Hello, Our desktop computer's hard drive recently went bad. In the process of diagnosing the hard drive failure, my partner uninstalled our Firefox browser. The account had several securely generated passwords connected to important email accounts that we had not written down. We have had a new hard drive installed, and a fresh copy of Windows 7 pro (we know, it's old and unsupported, but my husband likes it and it works fine for his needs). Our service person was able to save a lot of data from the old hard drive, but we're puzzled as to if we can still access the Firefox account having the necessary passwords. We have also acquired a laptop that runs Windows 10, and our service person transferred the old data onto it and also gave us the old hard drive for safekeeping. Both the desktop and the laptop have a .JSON file folder of bookmarks from the old hard drive. Any hope for password recovery? Thanks.

Hello,

after installing 98.01 recently a tab was opened that informed about a feature for Firefox installations on smartphones: the site said that it is possible to continue my work where I stopped before, including open tabs, bookmarks etc.

I don't have a smartphone - I only use firefox on my notebook. Since I'm considering to buy a new notebook in the upcoming weeks I ask myself how it is possible to migrate my current firefox installastion to a new notebook. Especially I'd like to have all my open tabs, bookmarks and cookies back after having installed firefox on the new notebook.

How can I do this? GreetZ and thanks a lot in advance!

It only disappeared briefly - I found it as the first item under the Bookmarks dropdown menu (see uploaded image). How do I get them back where they used to be, i.e. on the right, below the URL/search box. Many thanks to fellow Firefoxers.
